Local Initiation Fees Lowered

The Providence Federation of Musicians has recently lowered its initiation fee for new members.

The initiation fee is now $90.00. Previously, it had been $115.00.

If you have been considering joining the Providence Federation of Musicians, apply now to take advantage of this new, lower initiation fee.

Youth and Student Memberships

The Providence Federation of Musicians has introduced two new categories of membership:

1. YOUTH MEMBERSHIPS.

If you are a young musician between the ages of 16 and 20, you qualify for “YOUTH” membership in the Providence Federation of Musicians.

As a “Youth” member, you are exempt from paying the initiation fee of $90.00. While you are still responsible for membership and work dues, this option represents a significant savings. Once you turn 21, you will become a “Regular” member of the Local. However, there will be NO additional initiation fees.

If you are a full-time student enrolled in a college or university, you qualify for “STUDENT” membership in the Providence Federation of Musicians.

Like “YOUTH” members, you are exempt from paying the initiation fee of $90.00. You simply pay your membership and work dues.

There is no age limit for “STUDENT” membership, but you must provide proof of your enrollment in an accredited educational institution. When you have completed your academic program, your status will change to “REGULAR” member, but NO additional initiation fees will be required.
